"Not in doing what you like, but liking what you do is the secret of happiness" - J.M Barrie


I’ll try it once

They’re all doing it

One time thing

Mabey one more time

I need it

No, I don’t

It’s so close

So easy to reach

I’ll just do it one more time

I won’t do it anymore

I have money now

I’m going to use it

No, I’m not

I want to stop, I need to stop

They’re going to hate me if I don’t

No, they’re not

It helps so much

No, it doesn’t

All the pressures go away

They’ll all come back

I don’t want to try to stop

The thing that makes me feel so very high

Only for a moment 

Everything disappears 

Nothing in my ears

All my fears

Go

NO. THEY. DON’T
